  • @LegallyBrunette21 @LSATSummer2021 @"Joanna.B" I've taken it once before so I've had my ProctorU account setup since then, so that might be why I'm able to see it early?
  • Definitely interested!
  • @emmorens said: Coming from experience, you're better off postponing it. There's really no rush! If you're trying to take the last three section flex; don't. The four section exam arguably has benefits that the three section one doesn't …
  • Having a specific pre-PT routine has definitely helped me with getting focused and in the right mindset to take a test. My personal routine looks something like this: - Take my phone out of the room, fill up my water bottle, and prep my workspace …
  • I would personally just stick to doing on them on the computer. Doing them on paper vs on a computer are very different experiences, and I can't think of any advantages/benefits you would gain by practicing on paper to start when you know for sure t…
  • The LSAC website just says "Five blank sheets of scratch paper (lined, unlined, or graphed)" so my guess is that anything that isn't significantly larger than the standard 8.5 x 11 should be fine? But I'm sure you can shoot them an email or give the…
  • What I've been doing is taking my PTs in flex format with another tab open with a separate full 4th section ready to go. Since that 4th section is going to be random on the real thing, I've been rotating the type of section it is as well as when in …
  • Similar to what Law and Yoda said above, I've been taking my PTs in flex format with another tab open with a separate full 4th section ready to go. With each PT, I've been rotating when I do the 4th section (first, second, third, or fourth) and I've…
  • I'd assume that the curve would be fairly similar to the flex since the fourth section is just an unscored experimental section
  • I want to first start off with something I used to tell to my clients when I was a personal trainer with regards to fitness and that was that the only way you will fail, is IF you quit. Might be a bit cliche and fitness is certainly very different f…
  • This is probably the very compressive post you're referring to: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/26560/my-guide-to-reading-comprehension-part-1-long-ish-post I definitely recommend giving the post a thorough read through along with commen…
  • What I like to do is use each color of the highlight function to annotate a different aspect. I use: orange to highlight the names of people, groups, dates, places, important things etc.; pink to highlight changes in tone and arguments (words like b…
  • I think you're a little confused on the "most recent non-flex tests" part. To my knowledge, since 1991, the LSAT has been the same format of 6 sections: 2 LR, 1 RC, 1 LG, 1 unscored experimental of any of the three types, and the writing sample. Obv…
  • A 176 typically ranges between -3 to -5 depending on the particular test. Here's a link to all the PT raw score to scale score conversion charts that the LSAC has released so you can look at specific tests for yourself if you want! https://lsac.zen…
  • According to Anna Ivey-- the author of a couple of pretty popular law school admission books and a consultant as well-- your status as a permanent resident vs. U.S. citizen shouldn't matter in terms of admissions or scholarships decisions. She did m…
  • In my opinion, while it can help to read from similar outside sources like the ones you've mentioned (I personally read from the Economist daily just because I like to), to improve in RC you ultimately have to get better at reading for structure, im…
  • Hey! I'm in a similar boat as well after having scored a few points below my PT average and 8 points below my best PT score. It took me about a week of thinking to decide that I wasn't going to settle for my score, and that in the long run, it would…
  • Just to clarify, when you say you "can complete like 1 to 1.5 games" do you mean that's what you're able to complete in 35 minutes? Regardless, one of the best pieces of LSAT advice that I've gotten in general is that you should never sacrifice accu…
  • Like people have mentioned above, keep this week lighter in terms of studying. Maybe a PT 4-5 days before the test, BR the next day, and spend the following day doing some relatively light problem sets, passages, and/or games. I'd personally recomm…
  • Yeah, you get one minute between sections with a countdown timer on the screen. Plenty of time to get a sip of water, take a couple of breaths, and refocus for the next section!
  • @nw_39796 said: @hsiyad22 Good on you for being so upfront! So I'm actually confused about this... is it that every proctor is only in charge of supervising one student? I didn't realize you would actually be able to have a convo with them bef…
  • I have an older MacBook and took the flex in November on it using Google Chrome, and I thankfully didn't have an issues! I also made sure to sit pretty close to the router in my house and that no other devices were on the wifi during my test, and I …
  • One of the biggest things that helped me with this early on was trying to figure out/being hyper vigilant of what rules tend to be good nodes to split gameboards on-- usually the more restrictive rules. Sometimes it can even be a few rules paired to…
  • @r.e.w1640 congrats on that killer score, that's awesome!! Do you have any tips that really helped you improve on RC? That's my worst section right now and would appreciate anything that might help!
